Pyracantha
Look, we know that Pyracantha may sound like it is some kind of 1980’s heavy metal band. But this is actually one of the better gardening blogs out there. What really blew us away about Pyracantha is the way it is just so weird. We say weird, but we mean that in the best way possible. You see this is the kind of gardening blog that is just perfect for those of you who want something a little bit different. Those who do not want the same kind of roses and tulips that everyone else has.
How weird does this get? Well, they have features on awesome things like a Venus fly trap and what you need to do in order to grow on and keep it fed! Then there is a blog post about a Chinese money plant which can bring you good luck. There is just so much cool stuff here that really will blow your mind. If you want something new, cool and unusual then you are going to struggle to beat what Pyracantha has for you.
The Biking Gardener
The Biking Gardener is a blog from Geoff Stebbings. If you are a gardener then Geoff is a man you may have heard off as he is an author, broadcaster, blogger and of course a professional gardener. He is the kind of guy that you should be listening to and his blog is chock full of fantastic gardening ideas and advice. No matter what kind of issue you may be having with your garden, we would bet that Geoff will have the right answer for you.
One of the coolest parts of the blog though is reading about Geoff’s adventures on his bike where he travels all over the place helping people out with their gardens. He is kind of like a superhero who arrives in the nick of time. Except instead of driving the Batmobile and using Batarangs, he arrives on his bike and is packing a spade!
No Dig Gardener
Rodger Brook is the No Dig Gardener and he has been a seasoned veteran of the gardening scene for a very long time now. One of the most interesting facts about this blog is that it is not just the content that is interesting, but Rodger himself. He did not start blogging about his garden adventures until he was in his 70’s. He has years of experience as he used to be a horticultural lecturer and gardener which we found very interesting. His writing style is just so friendly and personal that you cannot help, but get sucked in and want to keep on reading more and more of his posts.
With a ton of very interesting stories and some amazing pieces of advice, No Dig Gardener is one of the best blogs on this whole list and we highly recommend you give it a good look.
